5.1 Safety Instructions

Operating personnel must read and understand the operating instructions, and especially the
“Safety” chapter, before operating the equipment. We recommend that the operator create internal
instructional documentation for equipment safety and operation and to acknowledge receipt of
these instructions/operating manual and participation in training/education in writing (see
documents in the Appendices)

1.1 Intended user group

The machine may only be operated by authorized persons.
Authorities must be clearly defined and observed, so that no unclear competencies result under the
aspect of safety. This applies in particular to work performed on the electrical equipment that may
only be performed by specially trained professionals.
